Following up on the brilliant Vision S concept sedan that Sony developed with Magna Steyr
The Japanese tech giant is using CES once again to show off their second concept, the Vision S-02
The all-electric crossover is powered by a pair of electric motors with each producing 268 hp. Details about range and battery size are yet to be announced
Coming to the design, the vehcile clearly has the proportions of the Tesla Model Y and carries a similar minimalist aesthetic that we saw on the Vision S Sedan
You do have light bars both front and rear
Along with massive 20" wheels, that liven the otherwise plain and undramatic design
Step inside and you are greeted by an equally futuristic and minimalist cabin
The interior is dominated by screen, and it should be considering Sony is a market leader in TV's
The entire dash is pretty much dominated by screens from end to end, similar to what we've seen on the Honda E, the Mercedes Eqs and most recently, the Mercedes Vision EQXX
The crossover can seat anywhere between four to seven people depending on the configuration you choose
Choose the former and you get these captains chairs, similar to what we saw on early Lucid Air's
Another trait similar to the Lucid, is the glass roof, which makes the light interior feel even more roomier
Sony also showed off state of the art level two Autonomous driving tech where a prototype in Germany was being controlled and operated from Sony's HQ in Tokyo Japan
The technology is supported by the range of CMOS image and LiDAR sensors on the body work, coupled with 5G technology
Now with tech brands like Sony, Huawei (AITO), Google (Waymo), and Apple wanting to get a slice of the EV space
The lines between a traditional automaker and a tech company are now more blur than ever. Did you also know that Tesla is considering making a phone?
Coming back to the Sony Vision cars, we don't know when they'll be out, but considering this is their second concept in two years, I'm sure we aren't too far away from launch. Swipe Up to Read More.
